Chapter 634: The Blessed

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Ye Luo was wearing a snow-white robe. His gentle yet delightful smile had such a graceful look that nobody could compare.

Lu Li hadn't seen him for quite some time. Ye Luo had become more outstanding. Many young ladies appeared to be smitten, for real or for show.

A beautiful girl stood by Ye Luo. She might not be as good as Lu Ling in terms of looks and temperament, but the royal feeling of her made her like a phoenix from heaven, a star in the night sky, bright and appealing.

She was Ye Luo's younger sister, Ye Yu, the most favored young lady at the Ye Family. Since Lu Li was friendly toward Ye Luo, he thought highly of Ye Yu as well because of that. Her lovely and sweet looks could stir up the tender affection from men.

Everyone stood up to welcome the future Family Patriarch and the young lady of the Ye Family. At this moment, Lu Li didn't dare to act too differently. He walked to Ye Luo with Gu Min.

Somehow, Ye Rong felt frustrated. Everywhere Ye Luo was at, he would be at the center. All the spotlight would shine upon Ye Luo.

But he collected his thoughts quickly. He walked over with a big smile and the other guests. He nodded to Ye Luo and said,

"Future Family Patriarch, Cousin Yu, finally, you came. Now, let me introduce our outstanding young masters and young ladies to you. This is Young Master Gongsun Yu from the Mansion of Bongyang. This is…

"

Of course, Ye Rong couldn't possibly introduce the one or two hundred guests. He just picked the more important disciples from seventh and sixth rank families. He didn't even mention some disciples of sixth rank families. As for Gu Min, Ye Rong ignored him.

Lu Li could not miss out on such a good chance. When a window of time was available, he suddenly said in a suppressed voice,

"Young Master Ye Luo, we once met. Do you remember?

"

Many people looked over and so did Ye Luo, Ye Yu and Ye Rong. Many were surprised while some snorted.

Gu Family was only a fifth rank family. Even if someone from the Gu Family had met Ye Luo before and maybe engaged in conversation, he shouldn't have said it publicly now.

There were so many disciples of sixth rank families that didn't have the chance to speak to Ye Luo yet. By interrupting, Lu Li was considered to be rude.

Ye Luo found Lu Li unfamiliar. But he wasn't too concerned considering that Lu Li was only at the peak of the Eternal Realm. But out of courtesy, Ye Luo pointed at Lu Li and asked Ye Rong,

"Who is this?

"

How would Ye Rong know?

He turned to Gu Min who said with a fawning smile,

"I am Gu Min from the Gu Family of the Gu Region. This is my cousion, Gu Fengliu.

"

"Gu Fengliu?

"

Lu Li was taken by surprise. What the hell was Gu Min doing? Wasn't he supposed to be called Gu Li? When did it change to Gu Fengliu?

The name was not the point now. Lu Li was eager to connect with Ye Luo now. Seeing Ye Luo frown, Lu Li understood that the name still didn't ring a bell. Lu Li grinned and said,

"Over a year ago, Young Master Ye and another Young Lady Yu went to a town. I had a drink with you two.

"

"What?

"

Ye Luo was confused. He tried to think. Where was the second Lady Yu he knew? The only one he could think of was Lu Hongyu.

But very few knew about him and Lu Hongyu. He never had the chance to meet with Lu Hongyu again after they left the small battlefield so the outside didn't know about them.

Ye Luo was smart.

Nobody would mention Lu Hongyu publicly like this. He looked into Lu Li's eyes and saw a flash of cunning look. Suddenly, Ye Luo understood.

He reacted very quickly. Putting on a smile, he cupped his fists casually and said,

"Brother Fengliu, it is you. I thought the name of Gu Fengliu is familiar. I am sorry about before. Please have some drinks with me later.

"

"Swish, swish, swish~

"

Many people turned their looks to Lu Li who was grinning in an honest and simple way. He was very happy about how Ye Luo managed.

Ye Luo was smart so he didn't get too passionate. This wouldn't draw too much attention and at the same time, he indicated that he had recognized Lu Li.

Soon, Ye Luo turned his attention to others. The other guests didn't feel anything wrong. They just thought Lu Li was lucky to make a connection with Ye Luo when others didn't have the chance to speak to him.

After exchanging pleasantries for nearly an hour, they finally took their seats. Gu Min walked back to the corner with Lu Li. It was until now that Lu Li looked at Gu Min, wondering what the reason was for the name change.

Gu Min and Lu Li sat behind the same golden table. Then, Gu Min wrote on the table with wine calmly—real person, missing.

Lu Li understood. So, Gu Fengliu was from the Gu Family but he went missing. It would be easy for Lu Li to act, assuming the name of this Gu Family young master. If he went to see Ye Luo as an escort, many people would notice.

Lu Li drank in a low profile way. Ye Luo seemed to have forgotten about Lu Li. He drank with others and didn't come to Lu Li once.

This was the right way. After all, a young master from the fifth family, even if he had met with Ye Luo before, wouldn't be worthy of Ye Luo coming to toast to him.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle~

"

At that moment, suddenly came some footsteps. The first one was quite hurried. A steward walked over in stride to report,

"Future family patriarch, Lady Mengtian and Lady Feiyu are here.

"

"Wow~

"

That triggered a chorus of reaction. Apart from Ji Mengtian, no other Lady Mengtian would make a Ye Family steward so nervous. Feiyu, of course, was Die Feiyu.

"Ji Mengtian?

"

Lu Li was the only one who felt coldness. He lowered his head and didn't look out, for fear that the glint of killing intent in his eyes would be noticed by others.

Ye Luo forced a smile and went to greet them with Ye Yu. Amid some beautiful scent, two exceedingly beautiful ladies walked in.

Their presence seemed to have lit up the hall. When many looked at the lady in a yellow dress, they felt like their breaths had shortened.

Lu Li finally stole a look and he was surprised as well. Ji Mengtian was still dazzling and outstanding. The yellow dress accentuated her perfect figure. The bun she combed today was elegant and graceful. She wore a yellow gem tassel, which gave her an amorous feeling. Her pretty eyes contained such sweetness that one look could lure one in to peek into her secrets.

This was a stunning lady. As soon as she walked in, she bested Ye Yu and all the other young ladies here. If Ye Yu was a star in the night sky, then Ji Mengtian was the moon. Nothing could dim her light.

More importantly—after spending more than a year in the Blood Realm, Ji Mengtian had become more mature. She had lost the innocence found in a little girl. Now, every move of her could melt the hearts of men.

"Human Sovereign Realm…

"

Lu Li went back to drinking after several glances. He forced a smile. She was a genius. To be exiled to the Blood Realm didn't discourage her. Instead, she used the opportunity and reached the Human Sovereign Realm.

To Lu Li's recollection, Ji Mengtian was only 22 years old. She could be regarded as the

"blessed one

".
